When I first got introduced to TRP, I hated it. Like the Matrix, people don't want to be saved, they want to feel good and safe. I was like that, until it started to make sense. I wasn't one of the many who got scorned in a relationship and carried all the hate and abuse to here as an outlet, I just read more submissions with an open mind and my past experience along with many other peoples'.

The problem begins when you become a sponge. I read through all the top posts, the sidebar, and kept up daily with hot new posts. It becomes like porn in a sense. Things that prove AWALT or some demonizing post about a woman doing horrific things no longer give you a grim reaffirmation in thought. Instead, they give you a pleasure in reading, like an emotionally/mentally pleasing pat on the back for being right.

But this is toxic. If you simply peruse the forum all day, vigorously nodding to yourself at things like hypergamy, or hamstering, or Chad ThunderCock, you're getting absolutely jack shit done in life. Sure, more knowledge never hurts. But you could be spending your time actually applying and practicing the things you read, not bookmarking for future use and then binge reading some more. Take a break from your keyboard.

Another problem that I faced, and I don't know if anyone else does/did, was misogyny. We constantly proclaim the fact that we aren't misogynists. We accept women for who they are, and work with it to the best of our benefit. Or some of us go to the extreme corner inside of MGTOW, and cut them off completely. What we need to keep in mind is that this subreddit mainly focuses on the worst of women. When I say this, I talk about the constant posts that are upvoted daily about women doing terrible things. The problem is, all women tend to have characteristics of these women, to a lesser degree or even more. That is why sometimes in our mind, we interpret this daily input of women doing bad as all women are equally bad, and this ruins any chance of having a good time with women in general. The main issue was that while sucking in all these horror stories of divorce rape and life-ruining by women, I failed to keep in mind this was not an example of all women. Not all women in my daily life would go this far, AS LONG as I didn't give them that chance. Which brings me to the next part.

We are men. We don't make excuses for ourselves when we mess up, or blame others. At least, that's the goal. A lot of people on here complain daily of women doing this, women doing that. We've been over this, it isn't their fault. It is their nature and you as a Red-Piller know better than anyone you are playing with fire. If you get burned, suck it up, tell your story if you want to help others, and learn from the experience. But don't complain to everyone about how women are evil and it's all their fault. With the knowledge TRP has given you, chances are you share some of the blame for letting it happen. Also, saying things like that gives this community a bad rep. It's impossible to have a logical, idea stimulating conversation about TRP anywhere on Reddit. And this is our fault. Too many people here are stuck being angry, writing shit posts, and basically giving everyone the idea that we are all fat neckbeards in our mom's basements who can't get women, and so turn to complaining about alphas and whatnot. I don't give a fuck what other communities think about us, until it gets to the point that the things they say are actually true about many members here. Then we know there's a problem in the sub.

To put it simply, don't spend all your time on TRP all day. It can warp your mindset for many. Taking a break is good, use it to apply those many posts you have bookmarked, to actually get experience with all sorts of women and understand their nature instead of reading it on a screen. Text can only help you so far. Also, bonus: In my opinion, you can't say you've moved beyond women or have put them beneath you unless you have the option to get them. Too many times people say extreme MGTOW's and MRA's can't get women, and so say they've gone their own way without them. The sad thing is, it is getting true for quite a few. Just my two cents, but if you don't have a choice in the matter, as in you couldn't get a girl even if you wanted to, then don't spout off about it on the web.

Tl;Dr: Get off TRP every now and then and actually experience the world before learning it off a screen.
